In a wildly entertaining affair in Brooklyn, the New York Islanders gained one point on the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs and two points on the Philadelphia Flyers with a 6-5 overtime win.
Brock Nelson scored the sudden-death winner for his second goal of the night — after the Islanders tied it one last time with their goalie pulled with 1:29 left — as both goalies faced over 30 shots.
It was a back-and-forth, almost completely even strength game. The Isles outshot the Leafs 34-32 overall, 34-28 at even strength, as the teams had only one power play each.
